I always feel a rise in my scalp or in the backs of my wrists when something is special, whether it be a song or a man.

Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden.

When I see Liz Taylor with those Harry Winston boulders hanging from her neck I get nauseated. Not figuratively, but nauseated! All I can think of are how many dog shelters those diamonds could buy.

I just feel so fortunate and so blessed to have been able to entertain people in the theatres and on record, it's just an amazing life that I've experienced.

in the press, my sex life was something else again. I was Lady Bountiful of the Sheets. Some of the best fiction of the Sixties was written about my amorous adventures with an assortment of lovers who could have only been chosen by a berserk random sampler.

I like Michael Buble.

I'm not going to go around with a long face - that's a waste of time
